STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The "blue fairy" dancing in his music video may have been arrested on drug dealing charges, but Daniel Haley says he meant to parody Staten Island's prescription drug abuse culture, not glorify it.

"We weren't high when we did it. That's the message," said Haley, 27, a former Great Kills and Eltingville resident who lives in East New York, Brooklyn. "I didn't make the video to glorify this. I went to hell and back for this."

Haley said he was not involved or arrested in this week's drug sweep. The NYPD confirmed he was not among the list of suspects.

The video is called "My World is Blue" (Warning: profane content) -- he and his partner, "Incite DaRiot," rap about blue 30 mg oxycodone pills, dancing in pharmacies with large blue cutout pills, get chased by DEA agents, and end up in a trash bin.

"It's a parody. We did it to show how stupid it is... That's me in the Dumpster. I edited the video myself," he said, noting that his young sister shot the footage. He said he wasn't comfortable giving out "Incite DaRiot's" real name.

Haley said he was hooked on pills four years ago., went through rehab at Phoenix House, and now holds a steady job at the Warwick Hotel in Manhattan.

"I went through that, and it led me to a really bad place in my life. I got arrested in Florida," he said.

Though "My World is Blue" is whimsical, he said, another video, "Peace of Mind," laments the choices he made while using drugs. (Warning: profane language.)

"It's a big problem. They call it the Staten Island pill epidemic. Kids are dying," he said.
